I am working from home this morning. I need to run down to Tacoma to get more popcorn for Tman to sell this weekend.

He comes back from his school camp thing this afternoon, so I will be happy to see him...and get him home for the long weekend. I hope they had fun even though the weather kind of sucked.

Not that I think this weather sucks. I like it, but I wouldn't like to be at camp in it.

Just under six weeks until our quick So. Cal trip, so that's something to look forward to. And only nine months and seven days until Summer vacation. I hadn't mentioned anything about this to Tman, but he asked me after his first day of school how long until summer break. I told him 9 months, 9 days. He was like, "Oh," and then a few minutes later, "Wait, how did you figure that out so quickly." I just laughed. I didn't want to tell him that I'm already counting down. I'm trying to be like, "School is SOOOO cool and fun" even though I don't believe that. Haha.

Have a great weekend everyone. Let me know if anyone wants to buy some super expensive, but it tastes good and 70% supports to scouts popcorn.

Good Morning. I"m not sure what my pan or the day is besides surviving lol. Not sure what our weekend plans are either as I know H has to work on his little crap-o-honda commuter. Luckily its cheap and easy to get parts for, but it needs tires in a bad way and one is currently flat, on top of getting some cv joints replaces so that will probably be the big to-do.

Has anyone watched Dexter? Its the current new to us show that H and I are watching at night after the kids are in bed. We are on season 3. Just so odd and painful at times lol

Also any shopping gurus, what will be the best time for me to hit up weekend sales online? I need to finish up some school clothes for M and I was waiting to do it online this weekend for some good holiday deals. Will sales be the same all weekend or possibly better on Monday?

Hello!dana86,I loved Dexter. I totally binge watched that a few years ago.

I'm doing the waitress gig tonight, then headed to the fella's. He's moving tomorrow. So, we're going to bring some of the small stuff over to the new place. He's hired movers for the bulk of his stuff, so that's good. Especially since I have friends coming from AZ tomorrow, so I won't be able to help. Whoops!

Not much else planned for the weekend. Hanging with my AZ friends tomorrow, and probably helping the fella Sunday get his new place set up.

dana86 Dexter was pretty good but uneven imo. H watched all of it, I only watched at times.

In good news, my sleep was pretty terrible last night. I woke up what felt like constantly and then when I finally was asleep, tech came in to fix the nose monitor. Then he woke me up at 5:45 am for the day. O.o I asked him and he said that there wasn't an obvious problem like apnea but he definitely noted all the disturbances. So..I hope they got a lot of good data and will figure something out in the indepth analysis of reading through it all! The sleep lab was on the back side of the block from Amandine so I hung out for 20 minutes until they opened, thinking I'd buy a pastry to bring home to eat after I woke up from a "nap". And apparently they mostly only have macarons, which is sad. Don't get me wrong, I bought one, but I wanted an actual pastry like a good croissant. Was too tired to try to go anywhere else so got home and poked H as it was time for him to get up and then went to bed. Woke up with another head/neckache. Joy. Just puttering around the house now. Kinda want to do various things but the neckheadache is just enough a deterrent that I have no motivation.

Ivan is being sassy and playing with his mouse but stops if I try to film it. Brat.

@ksta - I had a sleep study a few years ago because I have always slept terribly. I only did the at home one, because they could not guarantee insurance coverage for the in clinic one. They didn't completely ever figure out why but were able to somewhat narrow it down. I now take benadryl every night because while I don't have sleep apnea my tonsils (which I had removed sadly) are so large they block my airway. Once I am awake though my brain won't shut down. I hope they are able to find something easy for you. While benadryl has its side effects, chronic insomnia does as well.

Packed for camping today and studied some more. I think I am getting dumber as I study so I need to find some new techniques. I left the house today and studied at a local cafe and that seemed to help so I might have to start camping out at places after work.

Hello I am alive just in baby fog.

We are doing good, my mom is watching him tonight so I can catch up on sleep, it is nice to have one night free. Nothing too new or exciting I ran out of Grey's Anatomy all 12 seasons yesterday so many people die in that show.

dana86, Dexter is great I plan on rewatching Dexter and Bones to fill in the background of my days . It is painful and painfully awkward at times. I mean serial killers have to be abnormal right?

georgeharrison, you reminded me I need to go to Tacoma to get some cupcakes and kimchee which is a weird combo but growing up in Puyallup I have my stores from down there that I frequent even while living in Bothell.
